[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Derkes of Drewal/Drwaly, Poland

[Rose Ingram]

Michal, good to hear from someone in Poland.

There also is a Drwaly about 5 kilometers west of Wyszogrod, this may be the 
place Linda is looking for.  It seems to fit with some of the Derkes names 
in the SGGEE database.

Hi Linda,

  A name of Derkes is very rare in Poland. So, probably all Derkes's are 
related to each other.

  There is a village of Drwaly located a few miles to NE of Plock in Poland. 
I found in a phone directory information on a Derkes from Rempin which is 
located a few miles from Drwaly.

  Regards,

  Turek, Poland

  Hi:

I am a new subscriber to the Society and have been reading all the 
correspondence and find it very interesting and informative.

My grandfather, Julius Edward Derkes, was born in Drewal/Drwaly Poland, 
April 4, 1876. Does anyone have any information on any other Derkes from 
that village? I have been pronouncing the name like "Der kiss", is this the 
correct way to say the name or is it like "Der keys"? Also, I have been told 
that the name came from Derks. Does anyone know any history of the name? 
Thank you very much for any information you can give me.

Linda Morrissey
